1t will be observed that ia the year 1880
Kansas reached the zenith of its wheat
production. But in 1882 while the pro-
duction was only two thirds as great, the
crop brought 50 900, 600 more than it did in
1880 From 1882 to 1886 the value of the
Kansas wheat has dropped from little
over $4,000, 900 to s., 500, 600. decrease
OF nearly two thirds in value and about one
half in area planted. But by the decrease
in wheat area ii must be understood that in
the last four years Kansas agricultural in
terests have been on the wane. for they
have not. The area which has not been
sown TO wheat in the past four years has
been devoted TO corn or other serials.
